edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:10 PM EDT

#NHed Q1: Let's talk about a cherished memory of the year past. What's yours? https://t.co/WpaEuVnMCP

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:10 PM EDT

.@_readreadwrite It might just be you & I this evening! #NHed

_readreadwrite May 29 @ 7:11 PM EDT

@edventures Cold. Wet. Happy to have it stay this way until the last days of school to keep my Ss focused. ;-) #NHed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:11 PM EDT

.@_readreadwrite I hear you! Spend the day rock climbing w/ my boys. Good weather makes *skip days* tempting! #NHed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:12 PM EDT

.@_readreadwrite So if no one else shows up, let's chat about your school and your PD needs. What gets you excited about teaching? #NHed

_readreadwrite May 29 @ 7:14 PM EDT

Q1: I've been so blessed to have moved up this year with one of the best classes I've ever had! They've made it the best year ever. #NHed

guilfordt May 29 @ 7:14 PM EDT

I'm popping in and out - Tod librarian in Claremont, NH #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:14 PM EDT

.@_readreadwrite Can you share a little about your class & school? #NHed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:15 PM EDT

@guilfordt Hi Tod - just talking a bit about memories of this school year & of teaching in general. #NHed

_readreadwrite May 29 @ 7:16 PM EDT

@edventures Sanborn is completely competency-based. This year I've overhauled my class into a reading/writing workshop model (1/2) #nhed

_readreadwrite May 29 @ 7:17 PM EDT

@edventures (2/2) which means NO whole-class novels in favor of smaller genre studies, and student choice in almost all writing. #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:18 PM EDT

.@_readreadwrite Would love to hear more of your experiences with competency based learning. #NHed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:18 PM EDT

.@_readreadwrite Sounds like a move in the right direction, but what's your take? #NHed

guilfordt May 29 @ 7:18 PM EDT

I've had some success with collaborating with the art teacher. #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:19 PM EDT

.@guilfordt What did that look like? #NHed

edubabbIe May 29 @ 7:20 PM EDT

We can understand how we know. #nhed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:21 PM EDT

A1 This year has been my best year ever. #nhed I can't wait to see what happens next year. Angie, elementary media specialist jumping in.

guilfordt May 29 @ 7:21 PM EDT

Combining literature and art projects-- 3 Billy goats gruff and bridge building out of recycled materials #nhed

_readreadwrite May 29 @ 7:22 PM EDT

@edventures I couldn't go back now. Ss say that class is harder, but that they like what they're doing bc they chose their own path #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:22 PM EDT

.@AMitchell828 Welcome Angie! I dialed back tonight's chat as there were only a few of us but share a cherished memory of the year. #NHed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:22 PM EDT

A1 One of the best memories was when I introduced 5th grade to @breakoutEDU. The collaboration & engagement was awesome. #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:22 PM EDT

.@guilfordt That sounds like fun! #NHed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:23 PM EDT

.@_readreadwrite That is exactly what I want for my #Interlakes learners! #NHed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:23 PM EDT

A1 Introducing my #makerspace to the students. Doing a STEMS project with Dr. Seuss book Ten apples on top. #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:23 PM EDT

.@AMitchell828 I'd love to give @breakoutEDU a try some time. #NHed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:25 PM EDT

@edventures @breakoutEDU It was amazing. It was my last lesson with them. I created the Breakout myself using Google docs and forms. #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:25 PM EDT

.@AMitchell828 Ha, I just had a fun thought. What if @breakoutEDU was your exit ticket for grade level attainment? #FunFinal #NHed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:26 PM EDT

A1 Another great moment has been my afternoon reading sessions with parents and students. #nhed

briley8557 May 29 @ 7:27 PM EDT

#nhed We tried @breakoutEDU with a faculty meeting. Some really liked it, Some got frustrated. Really made Ts think about collaboration.

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:27 PM EDT

@edventures @breakoutEDU That would be awesome. The students would love it and it would show so much more than one test could. #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:27 PM EDT

.@briley8557 @breakoutEDU Some valuable lessons there. Especially when it comes to assumptions about collab learning! #NHed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:28 PM EDT

.@AMitchell828 Ooh, share some stories about what that looked like! #NHed

briley8557 May 29 @ 7:29 PM EDT

#NHed you're not kidding! It was very revealing to me. Got some insight into how my Ts work, strengths, challenges. https://t.co/ORlEwTC8hR

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:27 PM EDT

.@briley8557 @breakoutEDU Some valuable lessons there. Especially when it comes to assumptions about collab learning! #NHed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@edventures (2/3) In the stations they would have different activities that help with a reading skill. The parents could #nhed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:31 PM EDT

@edventures see how they could help at home. In two of these sessions the public librarians joined us. https://t.co/qzOZr3HZTk #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:31 PM EDT

#NHed Q2: With what you've experienced this year, how will you tweak things for next year?

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:32 PM EDT

@briley8557 @breakoutEDU That is exactly how I am going to do PD next year to teach new tech tools. I can't wait. #nhed

DennisDill May 29 @ 7:33 PM EDT

A2 moving from world history to US history ... Still going to keep the learning centers concept ... Revamping #nhed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:34 PM EDT

A2 I need to figure out a way to make the parent reading sessions geared toward 4th and 5th grade students also. This yr it was PK-3rd #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:34 PM EDT

.@DennisDill What strategies do you like to use to engage your learners? #NHed

DennisDill May 29 @ 7:34 PM EDT

A2 this year I implemented learning centers ... I think a new feature will be to have a capstone type project for each cycle #nhed

guilfordt May 29 @ 7:35 PM EDT

A2: Trying more learning centers in the library but also make them mobile for when library is taken over by standardized testing #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:36 PM EDT

.@guilfordt UGH!!!! Good on you for being an itinerant educator though! #NHed

DennisDill May 29 @ 7:37 PM EDT

@edventures tech helps but it is possible to overload with the tech ... Scale back a bit next year #nhed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:37 PM EDT

A2 I need to make sure to equally focus on literature, research, and tech w/o putting one over the other. #nhed Combining them is my goal.

guilfordt May 29 @ 7:38 PM EDT

@edventures Too many standardized tests this year (also too much proctoring those tests) #nhed

DennisDill May 29 @ 7:38 PM EDT

@edventures kids are really interested in current events ... Want to do more with this next year ... Easier with US history #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:39 PM EDT

.@DennisDill I can see that. We all want to understand how what we are learning affects us. #NHed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:39 PM EDT

@edventures @guilfordt . #nhed Centers can be fun I need to work on them also. I tried this year and it didn't work like I wanted it to.

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:40 PM EDT

.@DennisDill It's the perpetual question asked by students, "How am I going to use this in the *real world*?" #NHed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:40 PM EDT

.@AMitchell828 @guilfordt With centers, what worked? What didn't? #NHed

cpbossman09 May 29 @ 7:42 PM EDT

#nhed I am going to be more direct with people in a professional

guilfordt May 29 @ 7:42 PM EDT

@edventures @AMitchell828 I had a puzzle center, lego center and k'nex center were popular. Laptop center too much management. #nhed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@edventures @guilfordt The time management piece of it. Checking out and having them go to centers and helping with both was hard. #nhed

cpbossman09 May 29 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@cpbossman09 setting #nhed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@guilfordt @edventures I had a coding center, @Wonderopolis center, reading and nook center, and an animation center. #nhed.

guilfordt May 29 @ 7:44 PM EDT

I had a self checkout station for kids with their own library cards for each class. #nhed https://t.co/pVPNAnjkB0

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@edventures @guilfordt The time management piece of it. Checking out and having them go to centers and helping with both was hard. #nhed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@guilfordt I am going to do that next year. They know how to do it so I am just going to have the faith that they can. #nhed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:48 PM EDT

@guilfordt That would be a great idea. I plan on training two kids from every class. #nhed

guilfordt May 29 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@AMitchell828 @edventures I've found that the older kids love to help the younger students. Plus it allows kids to shine. #nhed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:51 PM EDT

@guilfordt @edventures That is true. I am just afraid that they couldn't leave classes to help me due to missing classes. #nhed

guilfordt May 29 @ 7:54 PM EDT

@AMitchell828 @edventures Find a few teachers and ask them if you could borrow a student for an important job. #nhed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:54 PM EDT

#nhed Here is what happens when you challenge students to reach a certain goal in reading. :-) https://t.co/uueX5hnLfy

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:55 PM EDT

This was a small #NHed chat tonight, but a fun one! Thank you @AMitchell828 @guilfordt @cpbossman09 @DennisDill @briley8557 @_readreadwrite

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:55 PM EDT

@guilfordt @edventures I will have to try that next year. #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 29 @ 7:56 PM EDT

.@AMitchell828 THAT IS AWESOME! So much fun! #NHed

AMitchell828 May 29 @ 7:57 PM EDT

@edventures It was. Our principal kissed a pig right afterwards since they also reached the million minute mark. #nhed
